It's the start of a new week here at Idol, and in the outside world as well.
There were results posted -

The new prompt was also posted

What do YOU have planned for this week? (In your life, or for the prompt. I was thinking about Life in general, but hey, interpret it the way you want!)

In case you missed it, I did finally announce when the 3 Strikes format would end - at the Top 5. I know that's going to be a relief for everyone wondering "how much longer is this mini season going to last anyway?" :D
The strikes however WILL come into play to determine any ties. That's their lasting legacy, and threat that will continue to loom over the remainder of the competition. Obviously, if two people with the same number of votes AND strikes end up tied, we will then go to the traditional write-off tie-breaker format. (For long time Idol watchers, it's a throwback to the old "stars" system, which were our very first tie-breakers. Except this time they were given due to performance in the polls)
